S. C. A. Reading Room

The Students' Christian Association has tried in every way possible to be of service to the students and by ils recent action has removed the only charge which could scarcely be made against it;_ that is, that persons interested in its work were not all allowed membership. On its present basis any one interested in religious advancement of the University can by subscribing to a simple pledge be eligible to active membership. In addition to this, provisión is made that any, who do not wish to engage in Christian work, may become associate members. The annual fee is placed at the lovvest sum possible, two dollars, and in case any student does not feel able to pay this the officer in charge of his department is authorized to excuse hini. h has been desired from the time Newberry Hall was opened to have it free to all, but the privilege has been seriously abusedand before the holidays property of various kinds, belonging to individuals, and the j society, and amounting to between thirty and forty dollars was stolen. To prevent further loss a system of regular supervisión in the reading room has been arranged, and the use of this room has been restricted to members. This rule takes effect at once and we trust all will see its necessity. President, S. C. A.
